REGULAR AGENDA
1. Consider and act upon a recommendation to the City Council regarding a request to
eliminate the railings between columns for a previously approved newly constructed Greek
Revival residential structure for commercial uses on a single lot within the Downtown
Historic District, located within the Keller's 1" Addition, Block 2, Lot 3 (105 N Jackson Ave).
Staff Comments
Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant desires to remove the rails along the front porch. In October 2019 the
applicant had obtained approval through the Commission and Council to construct a single-story Greek
Revival style structure to consist of composite masonry material which includes FIardy products, with a
wood pattern, columns and railings defining covered porch.
Board Discussion
Mr. Mae McClure, P.O. Box 2935, Wylie, applicant for the subject property, stated that the plans changed
to include a sidewalk in place of a ramp that meanders in the front and connects to the public sidewalk.
Due to the slope of the sidewalk, the ADA has approved the sidewalk as a handicapped ramp. However, if
a railing was installed, as initially approved by the Commission and Council, the railing would block the
view for the windows.
Commissioners discussed the type of railings and the size of railings. Ms. 011ie stated that the Zoning
Ordinance does not specify the type of railings or require the height of railings. At the end of the
discussion, the Commissioners agreed to eliminate the railings, requested additional landscaping between.
the columns. Mr. McClure agreed to install additional landscaping between the columns.
Commissioner Action
A motion was made by Chair Chandler, seconded by Conimissioner Finnell to recommend approval to
the City Council regarding a request to eliminate the railings with stipulation of additional landscaping be
installed between the columns and be ADA Compliant liar a previously approved newly constructed
Greek Revival residential structure for commercial uses on a single lot within the Downtown Flistoric,
located within the Keller's I Addition, Block 2, Lot 3 (105 N Jackson Ave). A vote was taken and
passed 4 0.
ADJOURNMENT
